ZenZoi Fountain Pen Set
Fountain Pen Set with Case and Modern Ink Refill Converter for Signature Writing -3 Mesmerizing Color Options -You Get FREE Gift eBook Executive Calligraphy Pen 100% (Royal Blue) by ZenZoi
My wife has always thought that if you are a famous writer you must use a fountain pen to show how erudite and scholarly you are. No professional writer would stoop so low as to use a ball point. That’s just too cheap and un-classy. Historical documents must be signed with a fountain pen to show the importance of the document. When a treaty is signed between two or more countries can you imagine that when they are passing out one of the pens used to sign this very important document they would hand you a cheap ball point? I think this would boggle the mind. Well you might not have a document of such worldly importance but having a ZenZoi fountain pen gives you the prestige and sophistication that is on par with those signing an historical document.
This pen has the class to fit right in with all those higher priced pens used in historical occasions. Classy and refined but at a price that even I can afford. This pen is easy to hold and comfortably fits your hand. This stainless steel pen is a real treat with the luxury and sophistication of this writing instrument. It is easy to charge the pen by inserting the ink cartridge and priming the pen to be ready to put it to use. This pen can be refilled by several different ways. You can use the cartridges that ZenZoi sells, an international standard size cartridge, or use the included converter for using bottled ink that comes with the pen.
Once this pen with its fine nib, and fancy box is charged get ready to create great documents. This ZenZoi pen works so well. This pens flows freely and smoothly. Sign autographs and impress all those that watch you get this pen out of your pocket or purse. I can imagine the hours of pleasurable writing, drawing and calligraphy that this pen will bring. This fountain pen by ZenZoi is going to get a real workout. And at the price of this ZenZoi fountain pen my wife finally gets her fancy fountain pen.

ZenZoi Scented Crayons
60 Crayons Box Colored Scented Crayon Bulk Pack - 10 Juicy Fruity Scents for Kids Toddlers to Color Draw - 60 Classic Wax Colors - FREE Extra Gift: Coloring E-Book Non Washable New Eco Supplies by ZenZoi
If you haven’t tried out the ZenZoi line of products then you are missing out. Each of the items in the ZenZoi line that I have tried has been quite exceptional. The change to a box of crayons has been a fun addition to an already great product in their line of products. My 5 year old granddaughter loves this box of 60 scented crayons and she jumped right in when they arrived.
When a young person is involved in something, their attention span is normally quite limited. But with this new box of scented crayons my granddaughter can’t seem to get away from coloring long enough to eat, go to bed or even watch TV. Coloring is now her new passion. She has a thrill choosing from the different colors to create a drawing of her own creation or just to color in a drawing from a coloring book. And watching her decide which color to use based not only on the color but also on the smell, has been a fun time to watch.
She went back and forth through the colors to decide which to use and finally dumped the entire box on the table so she could better see the selection. I have included pictures with her with the box as well as her going through the 60 different colors.
The ZenZoi crayons are large enough not to easily break and are designed that they are easy for a small child to hold. My granddaughter enjoyed using this set of crayons and going through all the rainbow of colors to find exactly the right color to use. The colors seemed to flow freely so that they could be used not only for coloring but drawing, sketching, crafting, scrapbooking, etc. Not excessive force was needed to color a desired area.
I like the round container, which is not just another cheap cardboard box that you have to put tape on the bottom to keep the crayons from falling out. This container holds the crayons so that they can be easily viewed. This crayon set would make a great gift for families with toddlers as well as young children. This is a great way to entertain any young children that like to color.
Included with the purchase was a "Baby Dragons" Creative Coloring E-book. Fun pictures of baby dragons that caught the eye of my granddaughter and she was off to color even more. This is another great product from ZenZoi.

ZenZoi Highlighter Markers
Highlighters Markers Assorted Colors Highlighter Marker Pens – Big Pack of 13 Color - Chisel Tip Fluorescent Yellow Blue Green Pink Orange and Pastel - Eco School Students Business Supplies by ZenZoi
This is another great product from ZenZoi now with improved features. These highlighters are slightly shorter in length and fit better in a pocket. Then with the 13 different highlighter colors I can mark the passages in different fluorescent or pastel colors depending how and where I might anticipate using the information.
This sure beats having dozens yellow post-it-notes hanging out of a book. With the highlighters I can mark the passages I what to remember. With the post-it-notes I can’t mark the exact quote but I am only able to mark the page and not the exact section.
My wife has always said I can tell whether you liked a book you read by the number of post-it-notes I have hanging out of a book. Now I’ve got her confused, no more yellow tabs hanging out of the book. Since I read about 200 books a year, I go through tons of sticky notes and I am always running out. Not now with this set of improved ZenZoi highlighters, this set should last a long time.
The colors seemed to flow freely so that they could be used not only for note taking, and coloring, drawing, sketching, crafting, scrapbooking, etc. Since these highlighters have no harsh chemicals and have planet friendly packaging I am comfortable about giving this set to my 5 year old granddaughter. My granddaughter enjoys using this set of pens and going through all the rainbow of colors to find exactly the right color for her drawings.

Tap Light Led
Tap Light Led, Mulcolor Motion Sensor Night Light Wireless Tap Lamp Stick-On Light Nightlight Closet Light, with FREE 3M Adhesive, for Hallway, Closet, Bathroom, Bedroom, Nursery (3 Pack) by Mulcolor
These are a great way to add light to areas that have always been too dark. Just twisted the base to access the sockets for the three AAA batteries. There is no need for wiring the house to install these tap lights. Then attach a self-adhesive double stick tape to the base and then attached to the wall and door frames in closets and areas where there has never been enough light.
This light turns on when it is dark and when motion is detected. I wondered why just installing this device in a closet it wouldn’t turn on and stay on until the batteries were dead. Well they have an auto off feature so that when there is no motion detected that they automatically turn off in 15 seconds. And they don’t turn on to start with until there is a motion detected. You have to open the drawer, and enter or move something in the closet. Otherwise they are off. With the 6 LED in each lamp there is sufficient light to provide see in the closet.
The only thing that I questioned was a lack of instructions about installing the batteries. Twist the bottom. That’s all. It’s in the write-ups in the ad but when the box arrives I wish it had stated about twisting the base and not make me go back to the ad. And using the word “tap” in the description is illogical as no tapping is necessary. It works automatically. Otherwise it is a great addition to a dark closet at a great price.

Adoric Baby Cabinet Locks
Adoric Baby Safety Magnetic Cabinet Locks - 6 Locks+2 Keys - No Drilling or Screws Needed
A new baby and therefore a new set of cabinet locks. For the last child I had installed the traditional screw into the cabinet frame locks that you have to use your fingers to push down on the lock mechanisms to get the lock open. Often you scratch or pinch your fingers trying to get the locks to release the drawer or cabinet door.
With the old fashioned locks you have to find the appropriate place to install the lock, then measure to get the holes in the frame and finally install the locks. With the old lock devices you have to get down on your hands and knees and then lay on your back, on the floor looking up at the cabinet frame while you have your head laying inside the cabinet. Now try to drill screw holes and then put screws into the cabinet frame to hold the latch mechanisms into place. Not an easy task.
Well along comes the Adoric Safety Lock that uses a strong magnet to secure the cabinet or drawer. The lock is mounted inside of the cabinet, no holes in the cabinet, do drilling, and no screws to install, and completely invisible from the outside of the cabinet.
The lock uses a little switch on each of the locks that can turn the internal magnet off. The set comes with two magnets that can be put on the top of the refrigerator door so that they are unreachable by the child yet accessible to the parent. The set comes with 6 locks and 2 magnetic locks. This is such an improvement in the child lock mechanisms.

Pripaso Dash Cam
Pripaso G-sensor Dash Cam for Cars 2.7" Full HD 1080P Car DVR 140° Wide Angle Dashboard Camera Recorder with Night Vision 16GB MicroSD Card Included
Boy this thing seems to include everything. There is a 2.7 inch dual lens car DVR, a mounting holder, a car charger, a user's manual and a 16GB micro SD memory card. I thought for sure reading the descriptions of other car dash cam ads that micro SD cards would be a separate purchase, but one was included with this unit, so this car DVR could be installed and used right away.
The camera is a full HD 1080P/720P high-definition video recorder with a 140° view angle and with a 4 x digital zoom. There are 4 LEDs for night vision, with a built-in microphone and speaker. It is capable of multi-language support, with a motion detector, and G-sensor circle recording. It has an automatic flashlight for night use.
The camera has anti-shake capabilities that seems to help reduce the bumps encountered on the road that affect the recording. There is a time stamp added to the recording so that you will know exactly when an incident has occurred.
I charged the unit prior to using it in my car. The unit then automatically powers on when it is plugged into the power outlet. This Pripaso G-sensor dash cam unit looks like it ought to be much more complicated to use than it was. Recordings were easy and downloading the recordings were also quite simple to do. And boy was the price right.

Rose Oval Toothbrush Makeup Brushes
10pcs Rose Gold Oval Toothbrush Makeup Brush Sets BB Cream Contour Powder Concealer Foundation Eyeliner Puff Brushes Cosmetics Tool by Vander Ltd
Can you hear the holler in from there? My daughter has gone crazy over this set of Rose Gold Oval Makeup Brushes. These were just what she wanted and she didn’t even know this set existed. This is truly a remarkable set. There seems to be a brush included in the set for all types of makeup applications. Actually there are 10 different brushes included in the set.
I would expect a set such as this to be at the makeup station for a professional makeup artist for a TV show or movie set. These brushes were well thought out by someone that has been in the makeup business for some time. These brushes are designed so that the handles are easy to hold and the ultra-soft texture of the brushes is so very smooth to the skin.
The design of the brushes makes it able to hold on to the powder or makeup so that all that expensive makeup doesn’t end up on the counter or floor. The shape and design of the brushes makes it easy to blend powders, and creams as well as foundation and moisturizers on your skin. Since they appear to be made from a high quality man made hair they should last quite a long time. The brushes are soft enough the even those with sensitive skin should be able to use these Rose Gold Oval Makeup brushes.
They are easy to clean with warm water and from time to time a gentle shampoo or soap when lathered will take away dried and caked up makeup after the brushes have been used for several applications. Then just shake off any excessive water and let the brushes air dry. This is a set sure to please even the most fickled makeup fanatic.

Kids Block Clock
New 2017 Model Alarm Clock - Upgraded Digital Display Model for Kids, Teens & Adults - Today Get 100% Warranty - Clocks for Home and Travel, Work for Heavy Sleepers - Limited Edition by Get Perfect Brand
This is truly a fun way to add a clock to a kids’ room. The positive notes on the clock add to the overall appearance of the clock. The alarm is not one of those brash loud sounding noisy things that startle you from a sound sleep. This alarm is a pleasant beeping sound that allows you to awake gently and smoothly. There are seven different colors that either rotate through from inside the body of the clock or you can choose the one color you desire.
The clock runs off 4 AAA batteries or there is a port on the back where you can plug in a standard transformer. I had a transformer left from a previous electronic device that worked perfectly. Also there is a set of wafer batteries in the clock which I assume are there for the demo mode that can be used before you put in the regular AAA batteries.
There is enough light from the clock to light the room at night, so you don’t need an additional night light in a child’s room. The night light feature can be used with the clock or turned off. Besides the day, date, and clock there is a built in temperature display. The letters of each display are large enough that they are easy to identify.
This clock would be appropriate in a kids’ bedroom or playroom. It is made from some sturdy material so it can take a certain amount of abuse when bumped or knocked to the floor.

I remember once handing a cheap ballpoint to a high powered executive to have him sign a set of large amount checks. I will never forget the look on his face when I handed him my cheap ballpoint pen. I felt so embarrassed by the look on his face as he looked at my cheap ballpoint. From then on I made sure I had a fine quality pen such as one from the ZenZoi collection to hand to the executive when signatures were needed.
The pen is easy to prepare by inserting the ink cartridge and priming the pen. This pen can be refilled by several different ways. You can use the cartridges sold by ZenZoi, international standard size cartridges, or use the included converter for using bottled ink.

Supricolor Canon Cartridges
Supricolor 5 Pack Compatible Canon PGI1200XL Canon PGI 1200XL PGI1200XL High Yield Replacement Ink Cartridges (1set + 1BK) for Canon Maxify MB2020 Maxify MB2320 Printer
These cartridges are easy to install and you don’t have to remove what seems to be 16 layers of wrapping to get down to the cartridge itself. For some cartridges it seems you have to tug, cut, and pry to get the layers of wrapping off before you can install the cartridge. With some brands I have even popped off the print head while trying to unwrap all the layers. No so with Supricolor. They are easy to unwrap and are quickly ready to install.
I wondered about the name but after installing and using these cartridges I was convinced that the name should be super. The set includes two high yield black cartridge as well as 3 standard color cartridges. I priced this set of Cannon cartridges at a local office supply store and found they wanted $ 112.95 for the set or $ 31.99 for the black only and $ 15.99 for each color.
Either way you slice it the Supricolor cartridges are a better deal. The quality of the colors from the Supricolor cartridges is rich, crisp, and true. The colors are sharp and are not pale or washed out. The images created are excellent for text, graphics or photos. The print appears to be water resistant and smudge proof.
The replacement is clean without the ink mess found with some cartridge replacements. All in all this was a great purchase. I would recommend this brand of cartridges for anyone needing a cartridge replacement and not wanting to spend the high dollar costs of original cartridges.

Adoric Solar Lights
Adoric Solar Lights, 2 Pack 8 LED Waterproof Motion Sensor Solar Security Lights for Driveway, Garage, Patio, Deck, Yard, Garden, Outside Wall
This set has been attached to the fence behind our three large city trash and recycling cans. Opening the side gate while holding an arm full of trash and then trying to find and open the cans all while in the dark has never been any fun. Now with these lights in place the area beside the house where the trash cans are located is no longer a black hole. I have tried carrying a flash light along with the trash and that makes at least one thing too many. When we saw these solar powered light for outdoor use these Adoric Solar Lights hit the spot. They work great on the deck or in the garden to allow you to go out at night and check on something without tripping over or running into who knows what.
These solar lights charge during the day and provides up to 12 hours of illumination at night. No more tripping or falling trying to navigate the path to the trash cans. These solar lights are weather resistant and I can verify that as they has been through a couple of showers. They even come with screws so that they can easily be attached to a deck, house, or fence. These Adoric solar lights seem to be well constructed and should stand up well to the elements. They are said to last 50,000 hours, so that is really quite a while. These are a must for anyone needing to go outside their house at night where is no convenient light.

Chef Remi Timer
Chef Remi Digital Kitchen Food / Oven / Egg Timer. Loud Alarm, Big Digits, Magnetic Backing, Manual Included. Other Uses Include Kids Homework, Classroom Use, Exercising, Meetings, Breaks When Working
Seems like the longer the clothes sit in the dryer after their cycle is completed the more wrinkled they become. When the washer or dryer is going in our laundry room I can never tell when the dryer or washer has finished their load of clothes. In addition I hate wrinkled clothes. My wife does not like the noise from the dryer or the washer while they are running so she shuts the laundry room door to block out the noise from disturbing the family while watching TV. Hence the end of the drying cycle and no one in the house knows the clothes are ready to come out of the dryer.
Now along comes the Chef Remi Digital Kitchen Timers. I start the washer or the dryer and also set the count-down timer on the Chef Remi Digital Kitchen Timer and carry the timer into the den while I watch TV. The door to the laundry can be shut but the digital timer will alert me about the completion of the drying cycle and no longer do I have clothes all wadded up. I don’t even have to be able to hear the washer or the dryer signal to know the clothes are ready because the digital timer alerted me.
The Chef Remi digital timer with its’ large display is easy to use for cooking, baking, phone calls, timing students on tests and numerous other uses. Having a timer that both counts up as well as down is a useful feature. Unlike many timers this timer shuts itself off after no use for 10 minutes. There are not too many times that you might need a timer that went to 99 minutes and 59 seconds but this timer can do that too. As I get older I find many things are getting harder to read and having the larger numbers on this timer has been a plus.
At my house there are lots of items on the refrigerator and now the Chef Remi digital kitchen timer with its’ magnetic back is one of them. But you can also use the timer sitting on a flat surface with its built in stand or attach it with the included clip. This was a great digital kitchen timer for a great price.

They are said to last on standby for 14 days or so, but I have not timed them to see if this is so.
These earphones are great for the price as they sound like much more expensive brand named earphones. The black/blue color of the earphones is sharp looking. And I have used them up to 25 feet or so away from the phone I was using for the Bluetooth connection.
The sound is quite clear and the bass is super. So often unless you really spend a lot of money you get poor bass sounds. Very surprising sound quality considering the size of the “speakers” that must be in each earphone. There is also noise cancelling tech intelligently filters to insure a high quality clean sound.
Since these are adjustable and the earpieces are padded, they feel soft and have a comfortable fit. This set of headphones come with three different sizes of earpiece stabilizers. Using the stabilizer helps hold the earpiece in your ear without the clip over your ear and without a headset band across your head. They have a volume control, a microphone, and an on-off switch to cut off calls or pause music while wearing the earphone. Unlike other models there is an LED indicator to let you know if the unit is on and/or charged. Included are the set of rubber ear buds with extensions, a charging cable and an instruction booklet making this is a great set at a great price.

Sunnest Micro USB Charging Cables
Sunnest Micro USB Charger, 3pcs (6ft/2M) Braided Nylon Cable High Speed USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B Charging Cord Universal for Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Nokia, Android, and More(Blue Black)
Seems as though I am always looking for a cable to plug something in. I leave electronic devices plugged in all day while I’m at work and every night I am plugging my cell phone and maybe my laptop or an IPad so that these are charged in the morning. Well now with the Sunnest Micro USB Charger High Speed Cables I am able to charge each of my devices because I now have enough cables of varying lengths to suit each situation. With these charging cables I know that the cable is securely attached to the device and that an excellent connection is made between the charger and the device.
I have plugged in my phone and then when laying the phone on the counter at night that the cable immediately falls out of the connection. The sturdy tangle free braided USB cables of the Sunnest cables do not tangle and then pull themselves out of the connector. Sometimes I don’t even find out that the phone never got a charge until the morning when I go to pick it up for work and find it is dead because the charging cable came unattached and the phone continued to operate until it no longer had any power.
The cable itself feels sturdy enough to stand up to use and the end connectors are stainless steel heads that seem hard enough to stand the pull and strain. Instead of the normal plastic cable, this Sunnest Micro USB Charger High Speed Cables features a high tensile strength nylon braded cord construction. The nylon fiber cloth is wound tightly around the cord to withstand day-to-day wear and tear, and at the same time stay flexible and tangle-free. This was a great purchase.

Invariably on a trip my wife and I both need to charge our phones at the same time or one of our kids wants to use an IPad, laptop, or gaming device and wants it plugged in. Well with this two port quick charge device, two electronic devices can be plugged in at the same time. There seems to be sufficient power to charge the device while it is also in use. Previous plug-in chargers were only able to keep the device at the same level of power and operational and were not able to supply additional power to charge the device while it was in use.
The MGcool charger is able to charge my phone or my wife’s phone in about 30 minutes or less where at home the charger we use seems to take all night to complete its’ charge.
The blue indicator light makes it easy to find the charger port in the dark while driving so you can plug in a device without turning on the car overhead lights to find the charger. The MGcool device is compact yet it feels sturdy enough to stand up to regular use. This is a great device that has been quite useful.

Holan LED Desk Lamp
LED Desk Lamp, Holan 8W Dimmable LED Desk Light Eye Care Table Lamp 2 Lighting Modes Touch-Sensitive Controller by Holan
I have been fussing with my desk lamp for quite a while. It has a standard bulb and round glass cover. There is heat produced by the bulb and then the glass shade gets hot. If you accidentally touch the glass you are likely to get burned. Then there is that bright bulb shining in your face. It is also an annoyance to the others sitting in the room trying to watch TV with this bright lamp shining in their faces also.
Now here comes the new LED desk lamp by Holan. This lamp does not get hot. There is no bright bulb to shine in your face. The sleek design of the lamp fits nicely on my desk and does not shine in the faces of the others in the room.
I like the touch controls that can be used to not only turn the lamp on and off, but adjust the brightness of the lamp, the color modes, and set a timer to turn the lamp off. With the adjustable arm it is easy to set the position of the lamp so that the illumination is in the right place and not causing glare all over the screen like the old lamp with a bulb. And without the glare it is easier to get your work done without all the eye strain.
No more top heavy lamp with a bulb that is easy to tip over and then have the hot bulb on you or your computer. This light weight lamp is slim in design and you can set it in front of you and above your computer screen and still see over it if you want to watch the TV or check on something going on in the room.
And with the LED bulb the electricity consumption must be much less, and the need to produce more cooling in the room to make up for the heat coming from the old lamp is also missing. This is a great improvement to the old standard desk lamp. This LED desk lamp by Holan is miles ahead of the others.

Toplus Wireless Doorbell
Toplus Wireless Doorbell Waterproof 1000-feet Range Wireless Door Chime Plug-in Receiver with 36 Chimes, 4 Volume Levels, Battery Included for Push Button
I have been frustrated for years not being able to hear the doorbell when someone was at the front door. I’m either in the wrong part of the house or the bell is not loud enough to be heard regardless of where you are in the house. Now with the Toplus Wireless Doorbell this problem has been resolved.
I disconnected my existing doorbell and placed the new doorbell using the included double-sided tape on top of the hole where the previous doorbell had been placed. Then I found a convenient electrical outlet in the house so that it would get the best coverage in the house.
Since there are 36 different chimes and four levels of volume that can be produced by the Toplus doorbell I spent some period of time trying the different chime tones and volume levels. I found for my two story house for the bell to be properly heard in all areas of the house the loudest level of volume was appropriate. As for the chime tone I chose, since I liked several, I decided that I would change tones ever so often just to add variety.
The position of the button was placed on the front porch and should be shielded from the rain and only get a limited amount of moisture. Also there are no deaf members of my family but having the blue light flash every time that the bell is sounded is an advantage since my family often has the TV playing so loud that it would drown out most devices.
I’m not sure I previously felt that I really needed one of these prior to its installation. Now I’m convinced. This Toplus Wireless Doorbell is a great home improvement.

One of my son in laws works as a chef for a large downtown hotel. He works at several of their fancy restaurants and often at their private ranch for VIP guests. They are particular about their food as are the city health department food inspectors.
Keeping food at just the right temperature is always an important thing. Making sure that the internal temperature of a piece of meat is raised to the temperature it should be is important to insure that the meat is properly cooked. This Toplus (TM) Instant Read Thermometer is just what he needs. He will have his own thermometer to check the serving line temperatures and the pots in any of the kitchens or the meat on the BBQ grill at the ranch buffet.
Having the long probe there is a distance between you and the heat of the food so you are less likely to get burned, singed, or boiled on as you test the various temperatures. This Toplus (TM) Instant Read Thermometer is a great tool, and P.S. don’t tell him I tried it out.

PU Leather Notebook
PU Leather Notebook, izBuy Retro Vintage Diary Memo Daily Use Gift for Men/women - 200 Lined Beige Pages, Elastic Band Wood Pattern Cover, Mediterranean Style, Brown, Gel Pen Included (60-25) by izBuy
If you want a quality leather notebook at an affordable price then this is one you should consider. The wood texture cover gives it a leathery smooth feel and the edges are well-sealed with no noticeable bends or folds as it goes under the interior lining. The print of the ruled lines is pale enough as not to detract from the text that you are creating. But with the ruled lines you are able to keep your writing in a more orderly fashion.
The included pen is a rather good quality item and does not appear to be just an afterthought. There is a pocket on the rounded spine of the notebook to hold the pen when not in use. I did find that with or without the pen it is somewhat difficult to keep the notebook open as it is new and the spine does not want to flex.
There are about 200 pages on which to write and a section in the back of the notebook where you can keep track of names and addresses. This is like some of the much larger notebooks that I have had in the past and it is definitely at a much lower cost than their $100 to $150 price tag. There are no bindings or rings to come loose and allow you to loose pages.
If you are like me and you have notes that you want to carry in your notebook it is nice to have the elastic strap that you can wrap around the notebook to keep it all inside. For those that have trouble keeping up with where you left off with your writing there is a ribbon book mark. When I saw the little fob at the end of the ribbon, I immediately thought it would be perfect to have someone’s initials engraved on the fob. This would be especially appropriate if the notebook was intended to be a gift. This is a great notebook at a great price.
